Subject: [PATCH 2/3] arm64: mm: Set PSTATE.PAN from the cpu_enable_pan() call
Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 11:27:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1476786468-2173-3-git-send-email-james.morse@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1476786468-2173-1-git-send-email-james.morse@arm.com>
Commit 338d4f49d6f7 ("arm64: kernel: Add support for Privileged Access
Never") enabled PAN by enabling the 'SPAN' feature-bit in SCTLR_EL1.
This means the PSTATE.PAN bit won't be set until the next return to the
kernel from userspace. On a preemptible kernel we may schedule work that
accesses userspace on a CPU before it has done this.
Now that cpufeature enable() calls are scheduled via stop_machine(), we
can set PSTATE.PAN from the cpu_enable_pan() call.
Add WARN_ON_ONCE(in_interrupt()) to check the PSTATE value we updated
is not immediately discarded.

This patch depends on 'arm64: cpufeature: Schedule enable() calls instead
of calling them via IPI', which doesn't apply to linux-stable versions
before v4.8.
